Slacker

We can’t pass a ball, there’s no threat from us at all.
Just starting the match thread early.😉

MrsGrey

Wait,
What?

We are having a rhyming match thread?

Just a shame that you show it

CleverTrevor

Nice touch!!

Ravel49

Maybe it will catch on 🍻

Deanscaleshammer

Perhaps the are doing it for our players too!

Hamstew

Strong. Shame for Downes though.

Slacker

I like it.
There I’ve said it.

WHU_Champo_league_in_7_years

Would rather Downes than Lanzini who I assume will play alongside Rice

Yeoldhammer

Would have been good to see Downes again to get him some game time. Same with Oggy surely building up his fitness again would be a benefit ?

OldCastleSwift

Downes got MOTM last time out, didn't he? Can't see how Lanzini gets in ahead of him. Assuming it's:

Areola
Kehrer Dawson Cresswell
Coufal Lanzini Paqueta Rice Emerson
Cornet Scamacca

In Moyes we trust

PrestonHammer

You drunk tea this morning from the proper mug, right Slacker?

Yeah, I suspect it's that kinda formation, although I prefer to see it as Paqueta more advanced than Rice and Lanzini, so more a 3-4-1-2 of the 90's with Paqueta in the Berkovic role.

OldCastleSwift

Anyone know what's going on with Ashby? With Johnson out, games like this would represent a great chance for him to stake his claim.

No right side cover tonight, so got to hope Coufal sees this out.

buffybegood

Yeah, it's a shame, I hope it's just that he's got a niggle rather than there being any ill-will on either side after all the transfer rumours.

My question too as there is no report of Ashby being injured. Is he on strike and trying to engineer a transfer away?

Must be an injury. If Moyes refused his move to Newcastle because he wanted him in the squad, his omission from subsequent squads can only be because of a knock, surely?

COMMENTATOR: West Ham are the favourites here, what do they need to do?
MCMANAMAN: They just need to do thing really well.

I just love how the pros see things differently to offer this cutting edge analysis

OldCastleSwift

Well we didn't defend well

alderz

Well, that’s not very good

buffybegood

Not good at all

MrsGrey

Poor, I'd say.

Need to channel our inner Hulk, now.

alderz

I quite like the 3/5 at the back system, but now we’re a goal down they are going to sit very deep, and I’m not sure we need three centre backs

Yeoldhammer

opposite i hate the 3/5 back system its looked garbage each time we have played it

alderz

Penalty!
